24 y/o f. xr of thoracolumbar spine showed rotatory scoliosis (18) & minimal spondylitic spurring on t12. please explain this.

Idiopathic scoliosis: Firstly, who determined 18? I would not trust the radiology report, it should be done by a scoliosis surgeon. Otherwise, all this means is that you had typical adolescent scoliosis with a reasonable curve but below the threshold for surgery and arguable even bracing, although I brace kids at 15 degrees. Your curve will not progress since you are skeletally mature.
